Confirmed from Echo Hollow Nature Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
210 acres of woodlands with a fishing pond, picnic area, hiking trails & wildlife viewing.

What a beautiful way to get away from it all! The trails through the woods are stunning and mostly tree covered so you will be shaded most of the time. The trails are market well for most of the trails and you can always find a map along the way to help you if you get turned around.
Just a great park. The trails snake around all over going from gravel to grass and back again. It's very well maintained and very clean .there is a really nice water space for catch and release and a floating dock for fine privilege.
Great updates to the park! Landscaping is beautiful, the grounds are well maintained, and the trails, with information signs posted along the way, make this park an awesome place for a day hike or to bring the family!
They have done a lot to improve this park recently. Fabulous trails and really nice restrooms. Lots of benches to stop and rest.
